Struggling Nuggets hope for turnaround vs. Thunder

DENVER (Ticker) -- No Kevin Durant, no problem for the Oklahoma
City Thunder.

The Thunder will be looking for their sixth win in seven games
without their superstar when they face the Denver Nuggets on
Wednesday.

Durant was averaging nearly 33 points per game when he went down
in the first quarter of a game against the Dallas Mavericks with
an ankle injury on February 27. Oklahoma City lost that game
but has caught fire since.

The Thunder edged the Sacramento Kings, 99-98, on Tuesday.
Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green scored 22 points apiece and
Thabo Sefolosha knocked down a pair of free throws in the final
seconds to provide the win.

The Nuggets have not been as strong of late, dropping three
straight and eight of 11, though only two of those setbacks have
come at home.

Denver is coming off a 97-95 loss to Houston on Monday in which
it shot just 38 percent.
